Describe your work in 140 characters or less: My work forms an allusive hybrid between drawing and
literature by interjecting the subject matter with literature and
symbols. There is rawness in the manner that is within the
understanding of the viewer. Based on my experiences and everyday
life, I portray society with all of its imperfections that we all enjoy.
Society is placed starkly into traditional literary formats of
screenplays, prose and poetry.
The wingding characters interspersed throughout my
writings act as both decoys and stage directions to compel the viewer/reader to
determine for themselves whether these dashes, arrows and symbols serve a
particular semiotic purpose or whether they may simply be placeholders, abstract
glyphs alluding to some modern day Rosetta Stone.
